“I lead a thousand men, I’m not concerned over one woman opposing me.”
“Not any woman,” Grell said. “A ranger. A ranger defending her family and homeland. That knows the mountain, the trees, and the narrow pass you must cross. You rightfully fear magic, but you should fear her more.”

Awesome, Jason. I love the foreboding and build up. Now, where’s the rest of the story? Lol

Thank you, Diana. Although I can’t deliver on a follow up on this one anytime soon, tonally my unfinished novellette “The Unicorn Hunters” has a heroine cut of this cloth. I really want to revisit and finish that piece… It mostly needs a new opening chapter.
